Police said the victim thought the tickets would be transferred to her Ticketmaster account.
She reportedly showed them copies of her conversations as well as a voice message from the supposed seller.
Police contacted the owner of the Facebook page and were told the owner had been hacked in September and had been trying to deactivate the account ever since.
The victim was told investigators would be unable to get her money back.
